Forces Armées Neutralistes

 * ... that Forces Armee Neutraliste was formed after paratroopers were defeated in the Battle of Vientiane?
 *  ALT1: ... that when a Forces Armee Neutraliste officer failed to capture his objective, Kong Le fired him for embezzlement?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Treaty of Louviers
 * Editorial Comment: Wars are generally two-sided affairs. However, Forces Armee Neutraliste became a third side in the Laotian Civil War. Led by a charismatic captain, and defeated in their attempt to purge corruption from the Royal Lao Government, they were eventually riven by dissension, assassination, and infighting as they took sides in the war of Royalists versus Communists. Note: Definitely up for suggested ALTs.

 * Symbol question.svg This article is new, it was moved to main space on 19 February and nominated the same day. Note, the link above is a now a redirect, the direct link is Forces Armées Neutralistes. It is long enough at over 28,000 bytes with plenty of prose. No policy issues identified (cited, reads as neutral, earwig finds no potential copyvio). QPQ is done. The hook is interesting; prefer Alt 1 as a hook and because there is a direct cite given for this sentence in the article but I cannot access the source so have accepted it on good faith. Suggest a minor tweak to the hook because the article states that the failure to capture the objective was independent from the sacking for embezzlement, and to include a direct link.
